Guild Wars 2

I believe that once the full content has been released, the green, yellow, purple and (Insert world 4 color here) will be able to be combined into red. i don’t really have much source or anything like that; but it came across my mind when i realised that the ultimate enemy (world 1, zone 1 cutscene) is based around the color red.

Wrong. World 3 is red, world 4 is purple.

Now if we could combine all 4 colours to get a colour-shifting weapon skin from the SAB…that’d be….

Wow, that’s actually a good idea.

JOSH FOREMAN, GET IN HERE

That’s the idea I had too xD I HOPE that happens. I have the green and yellow greatsword so far!

If you think about it, the colors are actually the “RARITY” of items in GW2. Starting with the Common Blue SAB weapons. World 1 = Green/Masterwork, World 2 = Yellow/Rare, World 3 = Red/Exotic, World 4 = Purple/Legendary. I wonder if this was intentional.

So there will be purple? XD

Dear kitten in the pound!!!

Just lost what little interest I may have had in trying to get a legendary now….

Purple colour weapons, not legendary weapon rarity.
Though beating world 4 on tib mode by itself will be legendary.

Each zone will be the combined effort and time of doing all 4 paths of Arah, probably.

This is what worries me. I have no interest in getting any of the “colored” SAB weps save for a set of purps to go with my mesmer. I fear this is a task which will spell my doom.

The weapon colors follow the color scheme of Baubles:

Blue (1)
Green (5)
Yellow (10)
Red (20)
Purple (50)

They DO line up well with rarity too!

Huh, always thought the 10 ones were orange, not yellow.

Yep, definitely not getting a legendary now.

You realize it will probably be at least a year before World 4 is even released, right? Two if they’ve set it to back to school and are leaving out April fools. Since there is nothing about the SAB that connects to a legendary, why not continue for that anyway.

Mystic forge the red, yellow, green and purple tokens to get a white one imo.

Can you imagine the kittenstorm that would follow it THAT’S how they implement the precursor acquiring? I’m thinking purple TM skin+ an ascended+ mystic weapon+ fractal skin : these 4 in the MF = precursor of that type

you know now I’m picturing that souvenir light sword I picked up from Disneyland last year. this ones kinda a lightsaber knockoff but when you turn it on it flashes rapidly through 3-4 colors and the blade looks kinda crystalline. actualy kinda disconcerting to look at to be honest. I could see the same thing with the SAB sword design quite easily.

You guys have some really interesting points and concepts! I really like the contrast between the world colors and the tiers of rarity in gw2. Even though it may not have been the original idea behind it, it suits the concept well

Not to criticize, by why did you not make green the 1 and blue the 5? had you done that, and kept all others the same, it would have matched the denominations of rupees in legend of zelda (maybe not all zelda games- windwaker and TP come to mind as examples where this holds true, but others are missing some)

The colours of both item rarity and baubles are sorted by wavelength, or at least following the colour wheel. (I realise that red and purple are on opposite ends of the spectrum)

If Zelda goes from green to blue to yellow (I don’t remember), then Zelda’s wrong.

That sounds awesome. Except I think it should be from forging the weapons instead of the tokens.

And blue is still the best…

Too bad you cant even get half the skins anymore, kind of silly when the minis, moto backpack, and a bunch of other things are blue and a lot of stuff in SAB is themed blue too, don’t know why they thought it would be a good idea to put such a frivolous restriction in place. It makes sense for previous events since they only happen ONCE, but SAB is going to happen 2+ more times not including this. The other skins just don’t look anywhere near as good and they require so much more work.
